August 28, 2007 began with parades celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the Mackinac Bridge in both St. Ignace and Mackinaw City,
Michigan. But as both communities prepared for the parades, a team from
Wolverine Fireworks Display was already at work laying out the identical
fireworks displays that would be set off next to the Mackinac Bridge that
evening.

On the evening of the dual St. Ignace/Mackinaw City fireworks,
the water was mirror like as the sun set over Lake Michigan. A few minutes
latter, a breeze started up creating a chop and keeping away the bugs that
might have been along the shore A little after 10PM, there was a distant
fireworks display on Mackinac Island, entertaining the thousands waiting
for the Mackinac Bridge fireworks display.

from both ends of the Mackinac Bridge

As 10:30 approached, the crowd on both sides of the Straits
of Mackinac saw the rare sight of the 5 mile long Mackinac Bridge with
no vehicles crossing. For safety, the traffic on the Mackinac Bridge was
halted during the fireworks. Finally the crowds saw the huge dual fireworks
display.
